His straightforward words instantly made my ears burn. Without hesitation, I picked up the men’s bracelet and slipped it onto his right wrist, where the prominent bones and skin were set off perfectly by the delicate platinum band, creating an air of refined restraint.
After a brief moment of admiration, I blurted out, “Leonardo, your hands are beautiful!”
He responded with a soft laugh and gently took my hand, lacing our fingers together. “Well, I’m aware now,” he said, the warmth from his palm seeping through and reigniting the heat in my cheeks.

Whatever I selected, Leonardo would grab an entire row of the same item.
“Leonardo! You’re going overboard,” I exclaimed, staring at the nearly full cart.
